Mar 9, 2022: According to a report by Xinhua, China asked Washington to release “relevant details as soon as possible” regarding alleged US biological laboratories in Ukraine.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told press at a news conference, “According to the data released by the US itself, the US has 26 biological laboratories and other related facilities in Ukraine which has indeed attracted great attention,”

“All dangerous viruses in Ukraine must be stored in these laboratories. All research activities are led by the US. No information is allowed to be disclosed without the permission of the US side,” claimed Zhao, according to a transcription of the news conference.

“Under the current situation, we call on all parties concerned to ensure the safety of these laboratories, starting from the health and safety of people in Ukraine and surrounding areas and around the world,” said Zhao.

“In particular, the US, as the party that knows these laboratories best, should announce the relevant details as soon as possible, including which viruses have been stored and which research has been carried out,” he said. “The revelation of the US bio-military activity in Ukraine is just the tip of the iceberg.”

“The US Department of Defense controls 336 biological laboratories in 30 countries around the world under the names of ‘cooperating to reduce biosecurity risks and strengthening global public health,’” Zhao added.

A similar claim was made Sunday by Russian Defence Ministry that there was “evidence of a U.S-financed military biological programme developed in Ukraine.” Moscow said the lab was “revealed during Russia’s special operation in that country.”
